Or they give me sloppy requirements docs. Clear that they also didn’t do any research, just AI bullshit driving AI bullshit. Their AI dreams are great, but then us engineers are left holding the bag when their slop docs didn’t account for anything. Exhausting

If you don’t use AI you are shown the door right now at many companies. We’re EMs without the pay bump.

Hey we automated the only fun part of your job away! WHY ARENT YOU HAPPY ABOUT IT!?

Meanwhile my job is now pressing enter mindlessly and sitting in on just as many asinine meetings

For this guy hopefully he proves that. For any of us regular folks what you’re saying may be true, but would bankrupt us trying to prove our case.

not soon enough my friend. My work just tried to get me to sign one. Luckily it was optional, but holy fuck

I hope he wins, but I’m guessing first thing they’re doing is saying “He signed a forced arbitration clause, and here’s the 42 places in the ToS where he signed that he was okay with it”, and the judge will throw it out

Local politicians being bought off for a couple thousand dollars. Fucking shameful. That’s not even a “oh you had to really persuade them” like a new car or something. It’s a good chunk of change but a thousand bucks will maybe get you a weekend vacation in Tuscon. But it was enough to sell our privacy down the well.

“Companies have been reckless doing whatever the hell they wanted but now with the smallest amount of scrutiny everyone panics”

Tells me you don’t have a strong business then.

In the last year I’ve seen my management go from “you have unlimited AI caps, use it as much as possible” to “actually now you have a very low cap, please use it when you feel like it’s necessary”. The real disruption has been to productivity, ironically enough, because the rules of my job keep changing.

Is diversity freaking gone?? That was the entire point!

I understand your pain, all too well

So it’s going to fail and they’re going to blame Graphene

Same with the Simpsons Michael Jackson episode, 30 Rock and It’s Always Sunny also had black face jokes that ironically were meant to make the viewer feel extremely uncomfortable and realize how racist the character was being that are now gone.

Whether you agree with the jokes/premise or not, I believe we shouldn’t pretend like none of that happened. To me that makes it worse. The fact that we feel so uncomfortable with it now proves that we are marching forward, and that doesn’t mean we blindly hide from our mistakes. I like what WB did with Looney Tunes, they put a disclaimer warning that it was there, and that it was from it’s time, and that to remove it would mean removing the evidence of how far we’ve come.

I run mine behind a VPN just to be safe, and even then Google still tries to throttle/rate limit as much as they can - but it’s important enough to me that it’s still worth trying

It only takes a couple of times to realize how quickly something you care about can be taken away and you’ll never see/hear it again. Netflix brought on such convenience. I remember I watched Scrubs front to back multiple times, until one day I was told that it was leaving and suddenly I couldn’t watch it anymore.

Youtubers and creators come and go, if there is something you care about it’s on you to preserve it. No one else will.

I wish there was a legal way for me to create a “backup” version for others to watch like a PeerTube instance, but to creators they would see it as not fair to them, so unfortunately my collection remains private.

You’ll find most things posted here are not paid :)

Personally I use TubeArchivist

They think it’s some brilliant scheme against big tech, when really it’s so obvious that they’re just going to tack the tax onto the users bill. French Netflix users will now have a “usage tax” on every bill, guaranteed.

It’s exactly the same thinking as the tarriffs. They think businesses will eat that cost and protect the customers? BS they will they’ll pass it on down.

So many reasons. The company is American and it is holding value for Americans, so it’s beholden to the SEC and a thousand compliance laws in the US.

Crypto as you know it is anonymous, but exchanges to operate in the US have so much scrutiny and compliance. They’ve had Id verification for years.

So in this case yes, it was the largest heist on currency in history, and a massive chunk was Americans’. I’d be shocked if they didn’t investigate.

Not to mention if it’s happening with crypto, it’s happening g with standard banks too. Not investigating would leave everyone else vulnerable to it.

Fully agree, the last time I went was once this year, and I paid with a gift card I got from before their bending the knee, so it only took assets away from them. Other than that, I will not shop there.

I know you’re joking but I immediately started thinking that. Is Target going to suddenly have totally legit honest LGBTQ stands again now? I have a feeling we’re going to have whiplash with all of these corps.
